Just because you may need to download a game to install it doesn't mean you need to be online to play it. Some games need an internet connection to play and many don't.sweetgirl2015 said:
But what if you have poor or weak broadband or non at all due to an outage?dan958 said:
No, you just buy an internal (if your case allows for one) or external DVD drive. The market definitely isn't changing prematurely, you will struggle to even buy new physical PC games that are not just Steam codes in the box (and it has been this way for a few years). It has way WAY gone pass the time for a DVD drive to be a 'default' in a gaming PC build.sweetgirl2015 said:I meant seems silly the fact its a gaming pc and if you got hundreds of games which at the time cost a lot of money if you cant use them its a bit silly to me. They are inexpencive so I think the market is changing prematurely really. Not everyone has made the change to online. Plus what are you supposed to do with the games you already have? Its just a waste to throw them away.
